Senate confirms controversial pick
After last Friday’s Arkansas Legislative Council meeting, the Senate Committee on Rules, Resolutions, and Memorials gathered in room 309 in the Capitol to consider 93 gubernatorial appointees to various boards and commissions. When this committee meets to consider such appointments, generally one member of the press attends, and nobody from the public ever bothers to show up. At last Friday’s meeting, I counted at least six members of the press, including a reporter and photog for a Little Rock TV station and Matt Campbell with the Arkansas Times, along with a handful of members of the public.
